  1. Hi all.
    In my latest video I test the new Armbian 22.02 images on RK3399.
    I use the NanoPi M4. But it should be about the same for other RK3399 devices.

     

     


    Long story short.
    Jammy xfce 5.16 performs better. And has the better performing browser.
    Focal xfce 5.15 firefox is not HW-acc. Chromium is, but performs badly. Also bad blender result. Not all cores are used to the max. I've never seen this behaviour.

    So I would use the Jammy xfce 5.16 image. But I'm still using an older image that work. So I'm not upgrading.
    Greetings, NicoD

  2. How is the state of this on the new release? Is VPU now possible on mainline?
    I had tried images from balbes150 for the station P1 where I could install his Kodi packages for this. I was wondering if this now is possible on the latest release or not? And what packages need to be used for this?
    Greetings.

  3. @TRS-80Of course you can ping me.
    @fikThat is indeed the best way to work. Either freeze kernel, or use 5.10
    Been a while that I tested it, but I also remember edge being unusable. There is a problem with all meson64 boards and edge. Someone is working on it. But no idea when it will be fixed. Too much work for too little hands.
    VIM3 development is also still in early fase. More things will not work. Check the cpu frequency. Possible it's set to 1.5Ghz on all cores. This because the configuration of the Odroid C2 was used as a base for the VIM3.
    I think you can set it with "sudo nano /etc/default/cpufrequtils"

    You are violating the startup order, this is a test version and it does not contain startup scripts from the desktop. It needs to be run as an independent software. After booting the system, DO NOT log in to the desktop. Switch to any console (Ctrl+Alt+F1). We log in as a user (but it's better to use root, then there will be more control options) and launch kodi.

    Thank you. That does work well.
    I should have know to start it like that. But clearly my brain doesn't always work the way I'd like it to.

  5. @balbes150I'm unable to make it work.
    I downloaded the Armbian_21.11.0-trunk_Station-p1_bullseye_current_5.10.88_xfce_desktop
    Downloaded the deb files. https://users.armbian.com/jmcc/packages/kodi-mainline/arm64/
    First tried with only the kodi-mainline-bin and kodi-mainline files
     

    sudo apt install libcec6 libfmt7 libfstrcmp0 libgles2 liblirc-client0 libmariadb3 libtinyxml2.6.2v5 libmicrohttpd12 libpcrecpp0v5 libpython2.7
    sudo dpkg -i kodi-mainline-bin_18.9-final-18.9bullseye0armbian1_arm64.deb
    sudo apt install libaacs0 libboost-python1.74.0 libshairplay0 libxxf86dga1 python3-bluez python3-gattlib python3-simplejson x11-utils
    sudo dpkg -i kodi-mainline_18.9-final-18.9bullseye0armbian1_all.deb
    

    When I try to start Kodi it kind of crashes the desktop. Mouse and keyboard stop working. Can't do anything. It does stay on the desktop, and the desktop is still running. I tried with a terminal window with htop running and htop was still running. But I was unable to do anything. Also couldn't switch with ctrl-alt-Fx
    This is the same with either sudo kodi or without.

    I then also tried with installing all the deb kodi files. But no change here.
    I tried again with a fresh install and the same.
    Did I download the wrong image? It is an older image, but the most recent 5.10 bullseye as you said.

    Some other things. It takes a long time before it starts booting. About a minute after power on you see the first things on screen. And the led isn't on. It blinks one time when boot initiates. But then it stays off.
    I think I remember this was working in the past.

    I also notices the black spots in windows that other people talk about. Seems a graphical glitch, composer or GPU. I don't have that on my M4 with 5.14(old image).
    And Firefox also crashed out of the blue. Just to let you know. Cheers.

    My question is: Is there any possibility of using an stable version of wayland for this purposes? If not, which could be the best choice for us to have an stable desktop, with chromium and all other stuff? Would it be possible in the near future to have GPU accelerated videos throuth v4l2 decent drivers?

    I don't have the RockPi4 anymore. I do have the NanoPi M4 and I run 5.14.11 on it without any problems. This only comes with GPU drivers, and not VPU drivers. Indeed for VPU you need to use Buster 4.4 with the media framework.

    That also has some GPU acceleration, but not panfrost.
    I've used it for a very long time. But with the old Media script on Armbian Bionic 4.4

    I only watch 1080p video files and youtube at 1080p. And this works well enough now on mainline. Only thing mainline can't do is 4K video.
    The M4 used to be my main desktop. For that I would still use 4.4. Now it's my 2nd desktop. My first desktop does 4K, so no need for it anymore on my RK3399.
    No idea about wayland. I always stayed with xfce4/x11 for desktop.

  7. Hi all.
    I've just made a review video about the RPi400.
    I tested RPiOS, Manjaro and Armbian.
    All my gathered info under the video.

    Official Armbian Jammy Nightly 5.15 has no GPU acceleration
    Images from RPardini do have GPU acceleration, but no sound
    
    Manjaro KDE is nice. Works well, except video playback in browser. Max 720p.
    
    ++ Good cooling solution, doesn't overheat even at high overclocks
    ++ the Pi 400 is the first in the line of Raspberry Pi products to have an on/off power button
       This is done by pressing Fn+F10. To restore power, you press the pair of buttons for two seconds
    ++ Default clock of 1.8Ghz vs 1.5Ghz on RPi4 performs 20% better. OC to 2Ghz 30% more performance than 1.5Ghz
    
    -- Bad keyboard
    -- Bad arrangement of the cursor keys
    -- SD-card reader still rather slow with max 45MB/s. Better to use a sd->USB3 adapter for fast sd-cards
    -- Still the undervoltage problem as with all other RPi devices when using a normal PSU. PSU's that deliver 5.3V perform best.
    
    *** GPU overclock makes it perform worse
    *** SD-card slot isn't very fast 45MB/s vs 90MB/s with the same card in sd->USB3 adapter

    Have a Nice Day!

    Nice job. I had a lot of problems getting it to work on Hirsute. So I never looked into it to make it work on other releases.
    If you'd be willing to adjust the armbian-gaming script to do this, I'll accept any commit. https://github.com/NicoD-SBC/armbian-gaming
    I also was planning to add installation of PPSSPP. But never came to it. If you want to do that...
    I'm working on a new review video. So I ain't got time for that.

  9. Hi all.
    You might have already heard. Armbian is aiming to support the Raspberry Pi4. @rpardini already made well working images for it.
    In this video I talk about why we would want Armbian for the RPi4, and I show you around in Armbian Jammy 5.13 for the RPi4.
     

     

    We do need to find someone who wants to take the task on him/her to be maintainer for RaspberryPi4 at Armbian.
    For this you need one spare board that can be used for testing when new release are made.
    Here some info I gathered.

     

    Raspberry Pi 4 cooled with big heatsink on SoC and fan on-top

    + ARM64 vs armhf of RaspberryPiOS/Ubuntu unstable at high clocks and a lot of bugs and hangs
    + Ubuntu and Debian images and all their versions
    + Great for server tasks
    + Customizable
    + You can build your own RPi4 images with whatever modules you need
    
    Armbian on RPi4 con's
    - Not great for desktop use (yet)
    - No VPU drivers, video playback firefox ok up to 720p
    - Audio glitchy, no audio on some images like Jammy 
     
    *** For audio install pavucontrol
    *** On-board wifi and dongles don't work with the Armbian Impish and Bullseye images. Dongles work on Hirsute. I guess kernel issue 5.13 -> 5.11
    *** Armbian Bullseye 5.13 USB not always working
    
    Install desktops
    sudo apt install xfce4 (ubuntu-mate-desktop, kubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-desktop, ...)
    sudo apt install lightdm
    sudo apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter
    sudo apt install pavucontrol
    sudo apt install xinit
    
    Power draw at 5.3V headless 
    1.5Ghz with fan maxed out        0.95A 
    2Ghz with fan maxed out          1.10A
    
    To do 
    - M4 Impish
    - Gather the info I've got from other boards and my pc's
    


    And for those who don't like watching a video, here a short text of what I talk about.

     

    What is Armbian? What is the Armbian build framework which is one of the valued pro's compared to RPiOS?
    Why Armbian for RPi4? For software compatibillity with other Armbian supported SBCs, Reliabillity, ARM64, Ubuntu and Debian and their versions, great for server tasks... 
    Accentuate this is only a preview, not full release or supported
    Show Armbian download page
    Show the NanoPi M4 and Odroid N2+, talk about their specs(short)
    Difference between other SBCs and RPi/ThreadX - Under Voltage problems/eMMC and NVMe possible on others(better I/O)
    What doesn't work yet on Armbian for RPi4. Wifi, BT and HDMI sound
    Show Armbian Impish, show htop, install desktops, 
    Benchmarks between different OS's. Explain they aren't worth much since, different versions of software, different architecture armhf vs arm64, 7zip multicore doesn't play well on different sized clusters, and doesn't always give exact the same result...
    !!!Test the performance of the software you use to know if this is the correct tool for you!!!
    Show different desktop environments installed on Armbian - Not the Armbian default desktops - mate doesn't work great, xfce4 works ok, kde works but is slow(newer version should improve that soon)Change openGL2->OpenGL3, ...
    Performance of I/O. Better to use a good but cheap usb3 sd-card reader than on-board sd-card reader. ssd/NVMe->USB3 even better.
    ???Would you like to become RPi4 Armbian maintainer??? Or for another board???
    Conclusion. Good for RPi community to have even more choice. Good for Armbian community to be able to use the same software on their RPi devices as on their others. Good for Armbian to reach more people and have more awareness about other boards. Having a good build environment to build your own images/kernels/patches for the RPi4.

     

  10. That is not how a kernel upgrade works.
    The kernel 5.10 is a supported LTS kernel. Kernel 5.13 is experimental and unsupported.
    It might be possible to switch kernel with armbian-config->other
    This might lead to to problems, so it is not adviced to do so.
    Things just brake when you want to use the latest bleeding egde software.

    Yes I did.

    This device has no display output and I have no clue if and how it's possible to debug the boot issue.

    With ssh, or serial connection.

    The boot is done through the micro-SD card and I can mount the micro-SD card successfully on any other host for insight. Is there any known trick how to see what fails during the boot process? How can I do this?

    By using ssh and connecting to it, or use a serial cable.
    And if you want full disk encryption I think you can use OMV for that.

  12. You need to use ssh to login to it, and then configure everything like that.
    This video shows how to install headless(without hdmi).


    I'm not sure, but I think OMV can do full disk encryption easily. For that you need a Debian (buster, bullseye) image and OMV can be installed with armbian-config.
    Here how to install OMV. Search google for full disk encryption on OMV.
